Summary:

"This volume deals with the relations between grammar and interaction from different perspectives, with the aim of unraveling the way in which a language -through the different forms of discourse from which it emerges- reflects certain social and com-munity-based schemas; that is, how language originates within the space shared by the speaker and the addressee(s). The first part ("Grammar and Interaction") concerns how interaction may intervene in grammar; the second part ("The Grammar of Interaction") approaches both notions and linguistic structures which are anchored in interaction while revolving around epistemicity, evidentiality and modality. The third part ("Inter-action as a Model for Discourse") concerns how certain constructions emerge from interaction and are further used to model discourse. Finally, the fourth and last part of the book ("Interaction as a Driver for Change") focuses on how interaction may help to delimit linguistic categories"-- Provided by publisher
